The "angry dragon" bonsai tree in Nghe An.

Two bonsai trees pruned into dragon shapes, located on the sidewalk of Nguyen Sy Sach Street, at the intersection with Le Nin Avenue, Vinh City, Nghe An Province, are Ficus microcarpa trees (also known as small-fruited Ficus).

According to the reporter's observations, these two dragon-shaped bonsai trees are of the same size, each measuring approximately 30 meters in length and over 2 meters in height, and are pruned and shaped on stone pedestals.

The dragon's eyes and mouth were sculpted from white plastic sheets, giving it a "sulky" look that made many viewers chuckle.

Mr. Phan Quoc Bao, Director of Vinh City Green Park Joint Stock Company, said that these two dragon sculptures made of greenery were created about 10 years ago, have been permanently placed here, and are pruned and cared for by workers every year.

To celebrate the Lunar New Year of the Year of the Dragon, the company had its employees decorate the two dragons to make them more eye-catching. Mr. Bao said that whether something is beautiful or not is a matter of personal opinion.
